The mom-to-be will write all the thank you notes. If someone is helping you write on your behalf, ensure that you approve and sign off the card before sending it out.

• Recipients of the cards

Every person who graced your baby shower must receive a thank you card. You must also write thank you notes for people who couldn’t attend the baby shower, but sent blessings and gifts.

• Right time to send out the cards

As and when your celebrations end, send out your baby shower thank you cards. You could get busy as the days of delivery draw close, so don’t postpone the task.

• Show creativity

Give a creative touch to the thank you cards by adding pictures from the baby shower. Your guests will like it.

Things To Write In A Baby Shower Thank You Note

Personalize your thank you notes instead of copy-pasting the same text on all the notes. Here is how you can write a note.

1. Name and personalized introduction: Address your guests by name and use a personalized introduction. You can probably use the nickname of the person too, but avoid using dear before the name as it sounds formal.

2. Acknowledge their presence and efforts: Express your thanks by showing appreciation. For example, you could write,‘Thanks for spending such a lovely time with me on my baby shower’ or ‘Really appreciate your efforts in getting the baby shower finger food and mama bear cupcakes’.

3. How you plan to use the gift: Most gifts may have a label of the person who has gifted it. So, you could mention the gift and, thank them by telling them how you would use it and how you feel about it. Even if it’s a monetary gift, tell them about how you would use the money.

4. Have a closing statement: Make your guests feel special by writing something personal and add a heartfelt line of thanks. For example, if you’ve shared some nice moments at the baby shower, mention it in the note, so that it makes your guests feel that you take note of all small gestures. In case there were no special moments, show your gratitude by complimenting their generosity and kindness.
